In a blink of an eye, on the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, Han Chuan deliberately set up a food stall to return to his old business, and Lati set up two cauldrons at the door of the house, making the stove vigorous; The little twin happily ran around with the bowl; Mama Zhong also smiled lightly on her serious face, and helped Han Chuan hand the bowl.

Hanchuan mixes the gouache into a rice ball, which is filled with pine nuts, lard, sugar, and sesame seeds, and there are also those that use tender meat to remove tendons and hammer them, and add minced green onions and autumn oil to make the filling.

Two pots, one sweet and one salty.

A bowl of gouache dumplings is sweet for five cents, salty for eight cents.

Compared to the normal price of the restaurant, this is simply giving back to the old diners.

People who come and go in the hutongs, who know the price of the daily table of "Shixian", are willing to stop and buy a bowl - this is considered to be a bargain, and if there is a bargain, it is not a loss!

A familiar face of the diner held a bowl and asked Fang Er with gouache, frowning, "... No matter what her mother-in-law does, she can't make such glutinous and fragrant gouache dumplings... Glutinous rice is the same rice, and the mill is also the same grinding, so I feel different when I eat it! ”

Because you bought this bowl with money, and the bowl at home is what your wife begged you to taste!

Han Chuan smiled, "Mrs. Ling's hands are used to draw and write words, you are too nitpicky!" ”

This diner, Han Chuan knows, five years ago, the son surnamed Yu, married the young daughter of the teacher, and has not yet entered the department after taking the spring exam four times, and now he is rushing to aim for the opening of the new year, the pressure is too great, and he feels that there is something wrong with what he eats.

Han Chuan lifted the spoon and added three rice balls to Yu Juzi, "Ninety-nine to one, I wish you all the best and go to the department as soon as possible." ”

These auspicious words went up to Yu Juzi's heart.

smiled and rewarded the broken silver the size of the thumbnail of the hand.

It doesn't matter how big the silver is, it's a good thing to have it.

Han Chuan smiled more sincerely.

After finishing his work in the morning, Han Chuan was so tired that his arm seemed to hang an iron scale, Han Chuan sat at the door to rest, Xiao Shuang'er leaned out and looked at the alley lane, and asked Han Chuan, "... Shopkeeper, we are all an alley, why is the door closed in the east, and all kinds of lights are hung in front of the porch in our west? ”

Mama Zhong didn't raise her head, "An alley, but also the expensive and the low." To the east of Dongtangzi Hutong is the house of Zhong Ming Ding Food, or there is a title in the family, or a three-jinshi. Most of the people in the west are merchants, and the Lantern Festival should hang the lantern of 'five grains harvest' as a colorful head. Although the big guys are all in an alley, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and the east side looks down on the west side. ”

Little Shuang'er pouted.

Who still looks down on anyone in an alley!

Han Chuan smiled and laughed.

It's understandable.

Take Concubine Niangniang's Changle Palace as an example, Yang Shufei in the main hall is in the second grade, with a prince under her knees, and an soon-to-be born heir, and the future is extremely bright. And a beauty and a noble man living in the side hall are all supporting roles who fell out of favor early and withdrew from the stage of the palace battle. This is still a house that lives, and this noble and lowly is like clouds and mud, one in heaven and one on earth.

Xiao Shuang'er deliberately poked her head out to look at the end of the alley, and Han Chuan also followed the probe.

In the easternmost house, people are coming in and out, or a few people hugging a large tree trunk, or holding a red sandalwood chest of drawers—that house has been a bit lively these days.

Han Chuan handed the empty bowl and basin to Xiao Shuang'er, "The easternmost household is being renovated, which feudal official bought the mansion when he opened the year and went to Beijing to report on his work." ”

The feudal officials are so arrogant.

What should I do if I don't feel comfortable staying at the inn?

Buy a house in the capital!

This is not a fantasy.

It's true.

Han Chuan's next door to the house is now the imperial merchant of Jiangning weaving to buy, I heard the neighbors say that they usually don't come to live, and they only live here in June and July when they pay tribute to silk.

Mama Zhong, "Fortunately, our restaurant is located here, but if it is located far away or in a poor alley, we will not be able to make so much silver." ”

Han Chuan nodded approvingly.

If you didn't have this ability, you wouldn't spend so much money on food!

It was dark, Han Chuan closed the door early, and listened to the crowd outside, so he locked the courtyard door and took two small ones out to visit the night market - Mama Zhong said that she panicked when she heard the noisy voices, and Lati didn't want to go, Lati wanted to sleep, Mama Zhong pulled Lati's ears, and her ears were raised, "You are a man in the house, don't protect the girl to go out, sleep at home?" Or is it not a little manhood? ”

The little man, Lati, was so said that his ears were red, and he drooped his head and followed behind Han Chuan and Xiao Shuang'er.

All the way of the fire tree and silver flowers, the color building pine shed is built high, the bamboo and cypress are inserted on it, it is called "floating light hole" and "saving star pavilion", there are various kinds of ingenuity such as gold and silver goose, egret turning flower, yellow dragon spitting water, etc. The dance team played by the children shuttled through the streets and alleys, playing silk and bamboo, dancing big dances, and it was so lively that people had to shout like shouting mountains to hear each other's words.

Xiao Shuang'er's face was about to laugh.

I bought food all the way, a string of sugar gourds in my left hand, a brown sugar pot helmet in my right hand, and a hexagonal lamp in the shape of a little rabbit to hang on Lati's body.

People are crazy and irrational, and the rich woman turned her head and asked Han Chuan, "Shopkeeper, you are a monkey, right?" Before Han Chuan agreed, the rich woman turned her head and handed five cents to the vendor, quite atmospheric, "Let's give me a little monkey lamp." ”

Asked Lati again.

Latty shrunk her chin and put her three fingers together in front of her mouth.

Contains 钏:??? What is this? Chicken? Or a snake? ：

The rich woman understood in an instant, "Another little mouse's lamp." ”

Amazing.

It's breathtaking.

Han Chuan was shocked by the tacit understanding of the cooperation between the two.

Therefore, Lati carried three lamps alone, like a tiny moth to a fire, and continued to move forward with difficulty.

Across the wide street, around the imperial city to dig the moat is there a fleet of boats to swim the lake, the beginning is a dock with a hibiscus lamp, the volume is a little large, the lamp is also good-looking, there are Luo silk, glass, cage yarn, carved lacquer and so on to make the lanterns, the boats that follow behind are also good, at a glance is the street of the noble and powerful family.

The crowd all crowded on the bridge to watch the excitement.

Han Chuan and two small ones were crowded into the middle of the bridge.

Lati held the corners of the two girls' clothes tightly, preventing them from being pushed further away by the crowd.

There was a sound of chirping in his ears, and Han Chuan smiled and glanced at Xiao Shuang'er, ready to squeeze out.

"That's the boat of the eldest princess of Beverly!"

Someone shouted in the crowd, "Last year, it was their family's lottery!" ”

Han Chuan's blood from head to toe seemed to freeze, and he caught a glimpse of the figure sitting in the dock.

Han Chuan swallowed the next mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

If there had been a salute, she would have blasted it towards the dock with unmistakable accuracy.
